Dental Implants

Designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth while preserving your facial structure and jawbone health.

The Reason

Dental implant placement is usually performed by your dentist, an oral surgeon, or a periodontist to permanently replace missing teeth and restore your smile.

When it comes to tooth replacement, generally, there are three options:

  1. removable dental appliance (complete denture or partial denture),
  2. fixed dental bridge (cemented), and
  3. dental implant.

Your dental implant process will include a focused surgical evaluation and the following:

  • Placement of the titanium post: The dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium screw that serves as an artificial tooth root. It is surgically placed directly into the jawbone beneath your gums to provide a strong, permanent foundation for a replacement tooth.

  • Prevention of bone loss: When a tooth is missing, the underlying jawbone begins to shrink from lack of stimulation. A dental implant fuses with the living bone in a process called osseointegration. Left untreated, missing teeth lead to severe bone loss and facial sagging. This deterioration is the start of irreversible structural damage!

  • Attachment of the custom restoration: Remove the gap in your smile by attaching a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture to the fully integrated implant. This completely restores your chewing ability and creates a beautiful, natural-looking finish.

Comprehensive Care

Dental implant procedure includes

A comprehensive surgical evaluation and treatment plan will be performed by your dentist at your implant consultation and placement visits. During your appointments, your dental team will include the following:

  • Examination of 3D diagnostic x-rays (CBCT scans): Essential for evaluating jawbone density, locating nerves and sinuses, and precisely planning the safest, most accurate implant placement

  • Administration of local anesthesia: Ensure the surgical site is completely numb so you remain comfortable, relaxed, and pain-free during the placement procedure

  • Surgical placement of the implant: A small space is carefully prepared in the jawbone, and the titanium implant post is securely placed into position

  • Healing and integration evaluation: Check the surgical site over a period of a few months to ensure the implant has successfully fused with the surrounding jawbone

  • Placement of the final restoration: Check the fit, shape, and color of your custom replacement tooth before permanently attaching it to the implant to complete your smile
